It is for a V-8 but the same can be done for a V-6. I actually have a set of factory manifolds to use from a 320 already. I don't have a car to test them on so I can't say what the gains might be.

99CLK320,
heat?
you mentioned that the headers put off more heat than you expected. Will the coated mild steel transfer less heat or perhaps wrapping the headers with that heat tape stuff, I forget what its called, decrease the amount of heat that is dissapated into the engine compartment?
